FREEPORT, The Bahamas — Eight people were injured when a crane crashed into the backside of a Royal Caribbean cruise ship in the Bahamas on Monday.

• Oasis of the Seas was in dry dock when crane fell
• No passengers were on ship at time of the accident
• Those hurt incurred non-life-threatening injuries

The Oasis of the Seas, homeported in Port Canaveral, was at the Grand Bahama Shipyard in Freeport undergoing maintenance when the crane fell.

'I was right there on the dock (and) just missed it by the grace of God,' said a man in a tweet from @Bahamaspress.

No passengers were on board when the crash happened.

Shipyard management tells Royal Caribbean that eight people incurred non-life-threatening injuries.

The ship sailed with just crew on board Sunday from Port Canaveral while heading to dry dock.

"We are aware of damage to the dock structure and to construction cranes. We are assessing damage to the ship," said Melissa Charbonneau, director of corporate reputation for Royal Caribbean Cruises.

Oasis of the Seas, one of the largest cruise ships in the world, was supposed to be back in Port Canaveral by this Sunday.

At the end of this month, it was scheduled to sail to Spain. Spectrum News is checking with the cruise line, but right now, there's no word on how the damage would affect passengers scheduled to sail soon.

Oasis of the Seas was in the headlines in January when the ship was forced to cut a trip short after 475 passengers and crewmembers became ill with what was thought to be the norovirus.

The ship was cleaned and returned to service.
